Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Upon learning of this, the eldest prince's wife sneered, "Men are so heartless."

Especially a selfish man like the eldest prince.

To him, women are just playthings. As long as they are useful to him, he will coax them. But once they are no longer useful to him and he is tired of them, they will be abandoned by him.

However, Concubine Shen had only been in the mansion for half a month, and she was very beautiful, so it was obviously not the time for her to fall out of favor.

The eldest prince probably did this for Meng Xiyue.

Thinking of his dirty thoughts, the eldest prince's wife snorted coldly. It was really disgusting.

"Princess, the eldest prince is coming to our Jingyuan."

Hearing this, the Crown Princess reluctantly closed the book in her hand and carefully hid it away.

"What bad luck."

"Open the door and welcome our Highness."

In less than a moment, Nan Rongxin arrived at Jingyuan.

"Your Highness."

The eldest prince's wife looked at him tenderly, her eyes full of joy.

This look made the eldest prince very proud. Even if she was the high and mighty daughter of the Wang family, she could only stay in the backyard and wait for his favor.

She would be grateful if he could just come and see her.

He walked into the room and sat down, taking the tea handed to him by the eldest prince's wife before asking.

"I heard that Princess Yong'an came here just now. What is she doing here?"

"Your Highness, she heard from somewhere that I had once taken Mr. Ye Xiu as her master, so she came to visit me specially."

The eldest princess replied softly, "I don't know if you are sincere or just want to laugh at me."

"Mr. Ye Xiu did not accept you as his disciple because he was shortsighted. This is his loss."

When talking about this, regret flashed in Nan Rongxin's eyes. If he had known that she wanted to take Mr. Ye Xiu as her master, he should have proposed to her later.

He guessed that Mr. Ye Xiu refused to accept her as his disciple because of her status as the eldest prince's consort.

Ye Xiu is an old man, but he is very smart.

But no matter how smart he is, he has already accepted Meng Xiyue as his disciple. If he marries Meng Xiyue, others will think that he supports him.

"What did she talk to you about?"

The eldest prince's wife sighed, "We just talked about calligraphy and painting, and then we talked about business."

"Your Highness also knows that I don't understand these things, so I changed the subject and asked about her and the prince."

Hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes lit up, "What did she say?"

"She said she didn't want to marry the prince. She was of low status, and the prince was unwilling to marry her as his principal wife. She herself was proud and arrogant, and didn't want to be a concubine. So the matter was left there."

The eldest prince's wife was filled with regret, "After all, she is only a princess who was married to a foreign country, and a concubine's daughter. She was given the title of a princess without real power because of the marriage. Naturally, she cannot be the crown princess."

"She is too arrogant. She doesn't even think about the people around her. She is making such a fuss. Don't let her end up with nothing."

"She's making a fuss because she has the capital to do so." The eldest prince tapped the table thoughtfully.

He sent people to Yuanqing Kingdom to inquire and learned that Meng Xiyue committed suicide and was rescued by Nan Rongzhi because she was unwilling to be Xie Junyi's concubine.

She was so strong-willed that Nan Rongzhi did not dare to force her to become a concubine, so she let her do her own thing.

Nan Rongzhi is an inexperienced man who has no idea how to get along with women.

And that cold-faced prince Xie Junyi was also a man who didn't understand romance, which was why he ended up with nothing.

They don't know at all that women need to be coaxed, and that all they have to do is agree to what they want.

When she becomes his own person, he can still control her as he pleases.

And he is the best at this.

The eldest prince's wife knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression.

In this mansion, there is a principal wife, a concubine, and more than a dozen concubines. Apart from the women who cling to his power, there are also several who were deceived by him.

Even she had fallen into his trap before.

Although she had to get married, she had also had dreams in her heart, hoping that he would be an ideal husband. Even if they could not be equals, it would be good for them to respect each other.

When she first got married, he treated her tenderly and cared for her very much. She thought she had made the right choice in marrying him, but all this was just his trick.

Seeing that Wang was unwilling to support him, he gradually ignored her and started looking for other targets.

One by one, the women were coaxed into his mansion by him.

There were few women here who were not from prominent families and were both talented and beautiful, but they were all ruined in his hands.

He is probably now thinking about what means he will use to deceive Meng Xiyue.

One Zhao Lanxue is not enough, there needs to be another Meng Xiyue, and there will be more women in the future.

Thinking of this, she forced a smile and spoke gently.

"Your Highness, you are going to marry a concubine soon. I want to go to Fa'an Temple and ask for a marriage talisman for you and Miss Zhao."

"You are so virtuous. This prince is very happy. Only you can be the principal wife."

The eldest prince said happily.

"This is what I should do. By the way, I heard that Abbot Pu Jing has left the temple and will give a lecture on Buddhism in the temple tomorrow. Your Highness, would you like to go with him to draw a fortune?"

The eldest prince's wife looked at him hopefully, she knew he would definitely go.

The eldest prince is a devout Buddhist, especially Abbot Pujing.

As expected, the eldest prince agreed immediately, "When Abbot Pu Jing comes out of retreat, I will definitely go there."

"But didn't he say he would be in seclusion for a year? How come he came out after only half a year?"

He escaped a great disaster thanks to a word from Abbot Pu Jing. Therefore, every time he made an important decision or had to do something, he would go to Abbot Pu Jing to ask for divination.

"I heard that the abbot observed the celestial phenomena at night and sensed that something big was going to happen, so he came out of retreat early. However, this may just be a rumor. Maybe the abbot has other things to do."

The eldest prince's wife said, "Let's go ask the abbot tomorrow and we'll know."

"You are right. I still need to ask the abbot in person."

The eldest prince looked solemn. What was this big event about? Could it be that his father...

Apart from the changes in the court, he couldn't think of anything else.

"Your Highness, it's almost noon, do you want to stay for dinner?"

The words of the eldest prince's wife interrupted his train of thought. He was stunned for a moment, and seeing the eldest prince's wife's hopeful look, he really wanted to agree.

But then he remembered that the eldest prince's wife ate plain and bland food, and the food was really hard to swallow.

He smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness still has official business to attend to, I will dine with you another day."

After that, he got up and left.

Looking at his back, the eldest prince's wife's original expression of disappointment and sadness disappeared and turned into disgust.

The eldest prince is used to having everything go his way when it comes to women, and he never feels that he will be fooled by a woman.

I'm really looking forward to the scene when he finds out the truth. I don't know how long I will have to pretend.
